Can I park at Exeter Arena?

According to the run’s official website, there is no official race car park and there will be no parking available at Exeter Arena - if you have to drive to the event we advise using pay and display car parks in the city centre and purchasing a shuttle bus ticket when you sign up or via the event shop.

Buses will depart from Exeter city centre bus station between 7am and 7.45am, but we encourage runners to arrive early as the service will be busy. The last buses will depart at 7.45am to arrive at the Arena by 8am.

Return services will run from approximately 11.15am (or when the first bus is full), dropping runners back to the bus station.

Road closures and diversions

Road closures will be in operation from 6am on Sunday, and will begin to reopen from 9.45am, before being fully reopened by 1pm.

These are the roads that will be affected
